General principles and recent developments in the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)
are reviewed. The “in situ” Turkevich-Frens and Brust-Schiffrin methods are still major …

This critical review is intended to attract the interest of organic chemists and researchers on
green and sustainable chemistry on the catalytic activity of supported gold nanoparticles in …

Catalysis by gold has rapidly become a hot topic in chemistry, with a new discovery being
made almost every week. Gold is equally effective as a heterogeneous or a homogeneous …

Biomass pyrolysis oil has been reported as a potential renewable biofuel precursor.
Although several review articles focusing on lignocellulose pyrolysis can be found, the one …

Abstract Die Katalyse durch Gold ist schnell ein “heißes Thema” der Chemie geworden–fast
wöchentlich werden neue Entdeckungen gemacht. Gold ist gleichermaßen als heterogener …

The origin of the extraordinary catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles is discussed on the
basis of density-functional calculations, adsorption studies on single crystal surfaces, and …

In the 1990s, nanoparticles and quantum dots began to be used in optical, electronic, and
biological applications. Now they are being studied for use in solid-state quantum …

The ability of living systems to respond to stimuli and process information has encouraged
scientists to develop integrated nanosystems displaying similar functions and capabilities. In …

Industrial catalysts are typically made of nanosized metal particles, carried by a solid
support. The extremely small size of the particles maximizes the surface area exposed to the …

The field of nanoscience has undergone tremendous growth in the past decade as the
number of applications of nanoparticles and nanostructured materials have proliferated …
